[FileUpload] Form parameters after a file input parameter not beingprocessed

[DAVID TURNER <DT...@nhbb.com>]

I have a simple form that contains three input fields, one hidden, one 
checkbox, and one of type file.  If I place the hidden and checkbox input 
fields in front of the file input field then the servlet code picks up the 
regular form fields.  If one or both of these regular form fields are 
placed after the file input field then FileUpload doesn't see them.

Can regular form fields be placed after a file input field?  How can I get 
this working so I can have other form fields after the file input field?


Versions being used:
commons fileupload - 1.2
commons io - 1.3.2
jdk 6




Sample HTML form (the hidden & checkbox wont get picked up unless placed 
before the file input parm):

        <form name="frm_upload" method="post" 
action="WFImageUploadServlet" enctype="multipart/form-data">

        <table>
                <tr>
                        <td>Image File Name:</td>
                        <td>
                                <input type="file" id="imageFileName" 
name="imageFileName" size="50" value="">
                        </td>
                </tr>
        </table>

        <input type="hidden" id="imageId" name="imageId" value="" />

        <input type="checkbox" id="imageOverwrite" name="imageOverwrite" 
value="overwrite" />Overwrite Image on Server

        <input type="submit" value="Upload">

        </form>

                // Sets the size threshold beyond which files are written 
directly to disk.
                factory.setSizeThreshold(2000);
                // Sets the directory used to temporarily store files that 
are larger than the configured size threshold
                factory.setRepository(new File("c:\\temp"));

                ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
